DigiPub@IDI (DigiPub is short for Digital Publics) is a group of researchers interested in digitalization and its impact on the public sphere. We do engaged research in areas such as healthcare, social services, and education. We publish our research in conferences and journals in areas such as computer-supported cooperative work, information systems, and human-computer interaction. Contact: Babak Farshchian.

DigiPub@IDI was “unofficially” founded on 2. April 2020, a date so once a year we can celebrate and eat cakes! However, by then Babak had already been working at IDI as adjunct associate professor for more than 10 years, and as a full time associate professor since September 2018.
